Learn The Trilogy’s Three Secrets—SHHH—that the Animals discovered! Light the stars in your heart & Live Big too!

Book 1: Dream Big –

Have you ever wondered how that first caterpillar achieved the impossible dream of soaring with wings through the sky? Or how that first Tadpole hopped up on the bank of a stream to sing?

DREAM BIG takes readers back to the wilds of East Africa where life began and shows how these different animals achieve their dreams. Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s book, A Hero With A Thousand Faces, each animal goes on their own heroic quest. They meet a moody Baboon along the way who doesn’t believe their dreams can come true. But when he sees Caterpillar turn into a winged Butterfly, Tadpole into dancing Frog, he discovers A Powerful Secret—SHHH—that exists between the stars and the animals once they truly believe in themselves and their dreams. You can enjoy The—SHHH—Secret too once you read the book!

Hint: To figure out Their Secret as you read, watch for CATCH-M, Their Magical, Mystical, Wished Upon Star who “WHOOSHES” down from the heavens when invited by their SMILE to “WHAM” ignite through their BELIEF the gift of stardust in their chests!

Book 2: Love Big –

Generations later in the wilds of East Africa, the animals were hungry, miserable, and mean. They stopped believing in themselves and their dreams. The Secret—SHHH—their ancestors had discovered only worked for the few who could still believe. Until a moody Baboon discovered a second powerful Secret while watching Rhinoceros, Hare, and Lion learn to brave their own heroic quest together. In turn, they help Dung Beetle who actually saves the savannah with his poopy home.

Hint: To figure out The New—SHHH—Secret as you read, watch for CATCH-M again. This time in The Magical, Mystical, Miraculous Star-dust that surrounds them, who “WHOOSHES” into their lives when invited by their shared SMILES to “WHAM” ignite the gift of stardust in all their hearts from a new found BELIEF in each other.
